Organic pet foods



Is your pet going organic?

In conclusion, many pet lovers are not only eating organic foods to keep themselves healthy but they are also letting their pets go organic so they can receive all the benefits too.

They are also protecting their pets from the terrible damage commercially produced foods can do to them. Nobody is sure how many animals - dogs and cats - suffered serious illness and/or died in early 2007. That was when a leading brand of pet food in the US was found to contain contaminated wheat gluten.

Many pets became ill, some fatally, through kidney failure caused by the poisonous pet food. One source estimated that up to 3000 animals became victim to this, although that particular estimate was unverified.

These animals, because we have domesticated them, rely on us to take care of them. Feeding them organic pet food is one major way of doing this.

So, whether your beloved pet is furred or feathered, organic pet food may just be what the vet ordered to keep her or him healthy for the long haul.

Check it out and let your pet experience the goodness that nature intended!

Here are two of the top online suppliers that we have looked at and recommend (one in the UK and one in the US) –

Yarrah for UK delivery

Yarrah makes sure that all its products contain all the needed vitamins, minerals and amino acids, and in the correct balance. High quality proteins are provided by the chicken content. The average dog or cat digests these very well. The taste is excellent!

Yarrah also add seaweeds and spirulina to their canned food for dogs and cats. These improve and maintain the condition and vitality of the coat, build up resistance to illness and boosts recovery from exertion and illness.

Popularity of Yarrah products is extremely high. This is a strong recommendation in itself, and testament to the high quality ingredients.

We fully recommend Yarrah. They base their pet foods on high organic standards, the best levels of animal welfare and optimum environmental health.

Castor & Pollux Pet Works for US delivery.

This family business knows all about the needs of cats and dogs. They are also animal lovers, which for me, gives added confidence in buying from them.

Brian and Shelly (founders/owners) at Castor & Pollux are constantly introducing new all natural and organically produced pet products to the market. They are adamant that they will never lose sight of what inspired them in the first place: the love they have for their pets.

In fact their love for all animals is evident in their commitment to community service that helps and supports pets and their owners. They do this through their own Pet and Soul Foundation, as well as other organisations such as Project Pooch, Guide Dogs for the Blind and AniMeals.

They get our unreserved recommendation.

You can order from Castor & Pollux online or visit their stores. Their website has a store locator which you can find here
